Originally trained as a speech-language pathologist, Lori has a solid understanding of the anatomy and science of voice and sound production. Her training as a theatre voice coach allows her to integrate practical training skills into that knowledge. She is committed to helping clients become clear, confident communicators by addressing the concerns each individual brings, whether voice or speech related. 

In an atmosphere of client-centred care, each individual is enabled to work toward mutually agreed goals by acquiring a skill set tailored to their specific needs. Ongoing feedback and evaluation (based on standardized testing where applicable) are provided.

Speaking English with a foreign accent can, at times, result in communication breakdown which may bring frustration or embarrassment despite good mastery of the English language. Accent reduction or modification work provides a guided approach to modifying either a foreign accent or regional dialect in order to be better understood.  Accent reduction will assist you in feeling confident in your communication abilities.

Breathing well has a profound impact on health, well being and movement. Over time, disordered breathing can lead to changes in how you feel emotionally or physically.

Lori is committed to helping individuals find a sound that matches their unique needs and aligns with their gender identity rather than following a set path. When looking for a voice that expresses your authentic self, Lori will work alongside you as a guide on that journey whether you are in transition or exploring the options as an individual who is gender non-conforming.
